COUNSELLING IN SCHOOLS

The school counselling project offers a bought in service in secondary and primary schools, working to a service level agreement. We offer a generic counselling service working with young people who have social, emotional or behavioural problems. Providing the service in school offers equal access to all.

Our aim is to provide an efficient and cost effective service. Our counsellors have a minimum of two years experience of working with young people in a school setting.

Each counsellor operates a double case load seeing clients on a fortnightly basis, if a client is absent or unable to utilise their session, the slot is offered to a client from next weeks case load. Offering counselling in school minimises disruption to a young person’s education only one period is missed. Sessions are rotated through the time table ensuring that the same lesson is not missed on a regular basis. We offer a confidential service within the frame work of child protection, the counsellor providing the service works with the schools child protection designated person when a young person discloses, or when they are deemed to be at risk.
